Description

Ghost stories swirl like mist around Gettysburg’s fields—phantom regiments, haunted inns, and spectral horsemen roaming the night. But what if the truth is even more powerful than the myth?

Join National Park Service rangers as they unravel the origins of Gettysburg’s most popular ghost stories and battlefield legends—revealing what’s based in fact, what’s pure fiction, and why these tales persist.

This isn’t a ghost tour— but in the end, you might find that the true stories of Gettysburg are just as haunting.
